    I saw Rand Mcnally announced the overdrive 8 pro for trucks. I'm sort of confused by it as you know it's going to be more expensive than the TND 740, yet not have the full functionality of the rand mcnally tablets,which only cost $100 more than the 740.

    Let me know if you find anything... I have one here so I can test if you find something or have a question.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    I'm going to purchase a 740 in the coming days. Don't know if they come with any transition instructions? Would like to transfer my address book data from my 730 over to the 740. Does the 740 use the same Dock software as the 730?

    No, the 740 is Android and the Dock will not transfer the data.

    See attached.

    See it, now that it's not 1 am.
    Looks like the proverbial 39-step program. ;-)
